Senior Programs
Our Senior programming is designed to keep our older students engaged and learning. Our Senior Students participate in Instrument Specific Senior Ensembles and Senior Enrichment Workshops, perform in Outreach events in the community and have the opportunity to participate in a Senior Solo Recital every May.
Senior students in grade 11 and 12 are eligible to apply for the Pawel Symczyk-Marjanovic award.
Summer Programs
We hope to be back with Summer Camp for Summer 2025. Check back in early 2025 for info and registration links.
We are very excited to be running our Summer Camp this year, from Monday July 15th – Friday July 19th, 2024! Each student will receive 3 hours per day of high-level musical instruction from our experienced and highly-trained teachers (see the faculty page of our website) as well as time with their peers and our Teen Counsellors, doing crafts, games (indoors and outdoors) and some supervised free time.
The Instrumental Camp for children aged 5 to 13 with at least one year of Suzuki music instruction in violin, viola, cello or guitar is a great way to keep musicianship skills fresh, learn new things, have fun and make memories with friends old and new.
The Half-Day Intro to Violin Camp for children aged 2.5 to 5 with no previous musical experience is a great way to kick off your child’s musical journey!
We will also be running a summer session of our popular Headstart program for children aged 2.5 to 5 and their guardians.
Headstart
Headstart is a special class for preschoolers and their parents. Headstart introduces children and their families to Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s music teaching philosophy – Every Child Can!
Our Headstart class introduces young children to basic music concepts in a fun and playful manner. The children have the chance to see, listen to and touch the musical instruments we teach at our school.
Your Headstart teacher is trained in preschool music and movement and teaches viola and violin.
Suzuki Early Childhood Education
This program is for parents and their children as old as 3 years old, and as young as prenatal. It is designed to prepare younger children and their parents for entry into the Headstart program (ages 2.5 to 5). Children aged 2.5 to 3 can be placed in either the ECE program or the Headstart program, at the discretion of the teachers and parents.
“Never hurry, never rest. Without stopping, without haste, carefully taking one step at a time will surely get you there.”
